When I went to start it up it barely cranked over, but it started. Turns out that even though it was less than 2 years old it had a bad battery.
lol, these things do happen. Ironically, my Shorai battery just came to the house, so I guess I'll install it! Electrical problems, very annoying.
I also dropped a 10mm nut when installing the battery yesterday. Of course it fell into the drive train and somehow created three very loud "clunks" before the bike disgorged it. I stopped right way, and found it under the bike. Checked the chain & sprockets and could find no indication of a problem. Removed the left side cosmetic plastic countershaft cover and still found nothing amiss. Seems to operate fine. I think it fell on top of the chain and was thumping between the chain and case. Maybe I'll pull the actual countershaft cover and see if it damaged anything, now that I think about it.
